6 Letter from Paule Thévenin to Derrida, 19 March 1965.
7 Everything to do with Paule Thévenin, the heritage of Antonin
Artaud, and the publication of his Oeuvres complètes is still a matter
of controversy. I will be returning to the subject later in this work. For
more information, see Paule Thévenin, Antonin Artaud: ce désespéré
qui vous parle (Paris: Le Seuil, Coll. ‘Fiction & Cie’, 1993). A very dif-
ferent point of view can be found in Florence de Mèredieu, L’Aff aire
Artaud: journal ethnographique (Paris: Fayard, 2009).
8 Interview with Albert Dichy. For more details on the relation between
Jean Genet and Paule Thévenin, see Edmund White, Genet, with a
chronology by Albert Dichy (London: Chatto & Windus, 1993).
